Whatever you do, please do not call it GIT_INDEX_VERSION _if_ it is only to be used while testing. Have string "TEST" somewhere in the name, and make t/test-lib-functions.sh take notice. Currently, the way for the user to show the preference as to which index version to use is to explicitly set the version once, and then we will (try to) propagate it inside the repository. I would not mind if we add a mechanism to make write_index() notice the environment variable GIT_INDEX_VERSION and write the index in that version. But that is conceptually very different from whatever you give "make VARIABLE=blah" from the command line when building Git (or set in config.mak which amounts to the same thing). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
